ZTE ringtone

From TXTPower.org

Mobile activist group TXTPower last night launched the AB-ZTE-FG protest ringtone, as it called on the public to remain vigilant over the US$329-million scam involving persons closely linked to President Arroyo.

TXTPower President Anthony Ian Cruz encouraged the public to download, use, re-post and forward the ringtone “as a sign of our collective anger over the latest scandal to hit the Arroyo administration and demand that the investigation result in the prosecution of bribers, bribetakers, fixers and influence-peddlers.”

Mas murang twitting

(Note: nang malapit ko nang matapos ang entry na ito, naisip kong mag-search muna kung ang tip na naiisip kong i-blog ay naisip at naikuwento na ng ibamg blogger. Tama ang hinala ko. Kaya kung ayaw ninyong basahin ang mahabang kasaysayan ng pagtu-Twitter ko at sa pamagat lang kayo intresado, puntahan na lang ang Markcas.com.

(Photo courtesy of my friend Bing)
Here’s a photo of my newly acquired Palm Treo 650. I got this second-hand unit for only P9,500 last July 21 in one of the stalls in Greenhills.For those who are not familiar with Palm products, the Palm Treo 650 is a cellphone, personal digital assistant, portable MP3 and video player, digital camera, ebook reader and “game and watch” in one.

You could also use it to write and edit documents, send and receive e-mail and browse the Web. It has a full QWERTY keyboard (parang sa computer), speakerphone, infrared and bluetooth (but no WIFI).

Here are more information that could probably convince you to swap your cellphone that keeps on freezing (Ano ba yan, nag-hang na naman?) with a Palm Treo:
